Ingredients

Servings

Shoyu Sauce

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 1 cup onion white, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch dissolve in 5 tablespoons of water

Chicken

  • 1 chicken whole cut-up

Garnish

  • 4 green onion sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a large pot EXCEPT the cornstarch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  2. Reduce to a simmer and add chicken. Cook chicken for 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Remove chicken from pot, and place on a serving dish.
  3. Spoon off any excess fat from the sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, and allow it to reduce for about 10 minutes.
  4. Add the dissolved cornstarch. Bring the sauce back to a boil, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
  5. Return the chicken to the pot and coat well with the sauce. Place the chicken on a serving dish and garnish with green onions.

Notes

  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Test for the temperature where the chicken is the thickest.
  • This chicken recipe will work for any chicken part: chicken breasts, boneless skinless thighs, drumsticks, or even chicken wings!
  • Concerned about the amount of sodium? Use low sodium soy sauce.
